I Crashed!!!

A couple times… And man was that fun.

That’s my “new to me” Kawi KLR 650 ditched in the slop. The KLR is a gem of a bike. I’ve been out of the dirt riding for far too long (does it show?), but I’m so impressed by this new bike. It goes pretty much where you ask it. And when I asked it, it went straight to the ground. Whoot!!!!

I affectionately call it “The Goat”.

Thanks to Iggy for the following “Action Cam” (sorry, no crash)!

Good times man… good times!

Phenomenal day. Weather was perfect, ground was a bit damp but not muddy, and leaves flitted around in a beautiful Autumn way. This was my first ride with the new-to-me XR and even though I grew up around this area I had never motorcycled most of what we did today….hitting the edges of orchards and vineyards overlooking the Columbia. 82 miles by my count! Great day.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the leaves. Kind of like a movie motoring through it. A bit surreal, but then… so was the damn view.

Where exactly is this? Is that the Columbia River or Yakima river in the background? Looks fun. You will have to take me out next time I make it down to the TriCities.
